Hello fellow Arc owners.
I have a quick question for you all.
What do you wish your handset could do that it can't?
Something you've always wanted to be able to do with your phone but has never happened, no-one's ever found a way.
Whatever this something is, it has to be possible to do by way of an app - so no super-high-res screens, batteries that last a year on a single charge or anything else hardware related, we're just talking software.
And I'm not talking an updated GingerBreak or something like that. I mean a proper, legit, above board idea.
I'd love to hear any/all sensible ideas, thanks.
NB: I'm not looking to steal anyone's ideas, if you've got a plan for the next killer app then go for it and I wish you all the best.
I'm just trying to find out if there's a niche out there that could be filled...
Im thinking......facial or thumb print unlock screens.....no idea why though.

Thumb print.. won't be feasible on current screens
And facial.. would take too long compared to swiping ?
A snap shot feature would be nice like a system restore. I know there are way to do it in Recovery but it would be nice to have a application within Stock ROM because Recovery is not available within Stock we need to Flash the custom ROM like CM for it.
A better (and free) lock screen could be good ! ..
I used to love how I could use the iPhone/iPod as a touchpad to control the mouse on the computer. Something similar for the arc would be a good idea. Should be graphically pleasing though.
I love to be able to use the camera button unlock the phone directly to the camera app, by long pressing it, so it doesn't happen by mistake. And when you turn off the screen or press the back button it would go back to being locked.

As mentioned, finger prints would require different hardware.
Facial recognition is simply fraught with too many problems to be practical.

Really !! You know how to create a snapshot? Or access it?
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Allows Screenshots Without Rooting
Don't know anything more about it though, sorry.
Sorry I think you got me wrong ...! Snapshot i meant a complete image of the system so we can restore it back to previous state. Let's say if something screws up we can restore the image
Right, ok.
I thought you had made two suggestions - screenshots being one and backups being the other.
I could be wrong but I'm not sure that's possible to do unless you're in recovery. I have a feeling that it's only possible to copy certain parts of the OS when it's not running.
As I say, I could be completely wrong but I can't help but feel that there's a reason why recovery is needed to made Nandroid backups.
May be I want to capture video of the activities I do on my device (just like capturing screenshot)...
Though m not sure if its achievable or not!!!
an app which can change anything in the system .. like the default wallpaper settings ..i dont mean the main wallpaper ... change the color .. change the notification bar ... but that easy change anything in the system ... where u can feel easy on making ur own system ... but the problem i dono how to make i hope somebody go on with my idea .... its free for u all ^_^ ... the first who will do this plz let me be the first one who tries it ^_^
thx
I am expecting an application that can show the time and other notification when screen is off. It means that the time can be checked without needing to wake up the screen. W 800 used this technology before. Very useful!

+1 , and the time/notifications have to move up over the screen after each minute (like a screensaver) (like Nokia/Symbian has)

Do you mean something like night clock or bed clock from the Market?
a widget to toggle between "WCDMA preferred" and "2G only".. and not one that's just a short cut to the network settings menu.

nope, I mean clock and notifications (sms, missed calls, ..) in grey like Nokia (symbian) has. And moving slightly over the screen as it was a screensaver

Could and of you XDA Devs help me?
Im looking for a lockscreen for windows mobile (6.1) that is identical to the lockscreen on the HTC Hero
i have a samsung omnia i900 so it's really important that it would work on wqvga devices.
My searching has brought up 'themes' for SPB mobile shell and PointUI et. but what i want is a standalone lock screen which doesnt need any other programs to run
This would be very good as i believe the Hero lock screen is one of the best
(it gives you all the info you need, while leaving you enough space to be able to see your background)
If anyone out there knows of anything like this

S2U2 has a hero theme
Is this what you're looking for?

Throttle Launcher has the same lock mechanism -slide down to unlock- but not the same sweetness as the Hero lock.
though Throttle Launcher is feature-rich it still comes next to S2U2 (the best there is IMHO).
S2U2 is what im using at the moment and it does the job of locking my phone fine aswell as showing me most of the info that i need but i still think the hero lock screen is much better looking and it allows you to see the wallpaper properly too
do any of you know, is throttlelock as smooth as the hero lock screen when locking/unlocking and does it show notifications for texts, email, missed called etc?
for a good slide down lock screen, google pocketshield
ive tried pocket shield and it is very good, very responsive and i dont think it would be too difficult to make a hero skin if there isnt one already
the only problem with it is that it costs money to get rid of the random countdown thing that reminds you to buy it
im looking for something free
is there anybody here with enough experience to make a program like what i want?
it only has to lock/unlock the screen and buttons and unlock on an incoming call

Thanks for this information
i had come accross this in my search before and ive used throttle lock before which does work very well but as you said, this theme is only available in qvga at the moment so i couldnt try it
Unfortunately, i got bored of my omnia and ive now downgraded to a sony ericsson w980i until i can afford to buy a real android handset, preferably something with HTC Sense
So i'd like to thank everyone for their help but i will be closing this thread within the next few days unless anybody wants to carry it on?
Thanks
Throttle Lock is good but unfortunately it is still a little buggy at the moment, the newer versions of s2u2 from v 2.14 onwards are working perfectly plus there is a hero skin for it

Thats right and the configuration is not the best ... little bugy.
S2U2 is a good app ,
so we have to ask the developer if it possible
to make a secure unlock function like this :

A good idea but A_C will have to change the name of the app entirely cause the slide function will be missing in it

if a_c were to redesign his screen locking app to move away from the iPhone style, i'd prefer to see one like the hero or droid. they're both very slick.

I agree with that.
i agree
but a_c could keep the S2U2 name if he just gave you the option of a hero style unlock aswell as the traditional iphone style unlock rather than removing the iphone style unlock altogether.
i suggested this through his website but got no reply
Ok..i bought the lumia 800 on 31st jan,2012, since i found it very intresting at gsmarena....first i wanted to get the n9 but its not in our country so den i ditched the idea(regret a bit ) nyways...
Here it is...i have it..lumia 800..and flaws in a new OS are bound to be there..
1. sometimes call doesnt end...it just goes on and on till i hold the power key for about 20-30 secs(just to let ppl know dat this way it restars...cuz i heard some people leave it till battery drains out.. )
2.Battery drain, but a bit of a fix after the new update
im currently on :
OS version : 7.10.8107.79
Firmware revision number : 1600.2483.8106.11500
bbattery is better dan before...
bdw...i have checked navifirm and hav a firmware downloaded>>
1600.2483.8107.11501 though product code doesnt matter...seems updated...waiting for a go for a flash...lets see..
i will do it as soon as i find a way to back up the apps i downloaded..:/
pls let me knw if der is a way..thanks..
3.External sound seems bad....but i noticed dat a better audio quality actually give better sound...and headset is good as well and bluetooth headset sound quality is super!!
4. Now this is noticeable but come ppl wont complain..i guess it does need a small fix..annoying to me..
so..wen u at ur homescreen press the windows button to make sure all tiles are at default position...now notice dat the 4th tile the Tile name is half CUT..like its going below the display area...now i knw its minor but still...needs a small fix..
5.Search function in music player would hav been awesome!!! Not included!! :/ :/
6.Threads> say we hav text and facebook...thread displays all together..:/
there should hav been different thread for texts and Fb chats...sumtimes confusing..:/
7.this is also a small one...the gallery tile onli give slide show of certain pics in the gallery..:/ wouldnt it b better if we could set our own slideshow? or maybe rotate w whole album der..or mayb default settings to rotate any random pic..not just certain ones??
8.Animated lock screen!!!! would b awesome!!!!!
9.Notification lights for text or call..?? not der..:/
10.Oh and...i hop wifi hotspot will b incuded , its much needed!! as well as bluetooth file transfer!!!
realli bluetooth transfer is needed...i understand cloud but here in our country, being connected is very tough due to bad network service all over da country...very slow internet..:/
3G launched but still no support as yet..:/
bdw..do reply...i would appretiate feedback and also any swears!
bdw..i would love to help in R&D.
#3 Only the 3,5mm jack is affected. An update by Nokia is coming regarding this audio issue.
#4 I don't have that bug at all.
#7 You can set your own slideshow for gallery tile. Add those pics you want to favorites and set "shuffle background" and it will use your favorites only.
super...
ok..will look forward for the update..but wat about taking backup of apps?
i hav tried an app dat i found on the forum..but i hav sum errors..can u help?
also #4 , i will post a pic to show u...
edit :
As for #4: it's quite logic. Your screen has to end somewhere... By simply scrolling down you will be able to see the whole tile.
yeaea...but look at the end...it would b better if the tiles end a bit above the edge...this is like the tile name is half cut below....see..its just a few pixels...

Yes I see, but what would you prefer? A black border? No, that would be ugly, because then the border would have to disappear while you're scrolling. I don't think it's a bug

I've got to chime in on the home screen tile placement complaint. As you play with WP7, you'll notice that it's designed to never have scrollable/swipable things fully on the screen. It encourages the user to scroll/swipe and see what else there is. It's kinda like having your hand held without actually realizing it.
I actually like that SMS/facebook threads are continuous. Have you noticed that you can actually switch a conversation between FB and SMS? Having them in the same thread keeps the flow. Or, maybe it doesn't. Guess it depends on how you like it.
If you'd like your gallery live tile to be more specific, set 'favorites' in your albums. Those images are supposed to take priority in the live tile displays.

Thanks. Nice ROM. Icons in the status bar are blurry though. Apart from that, working fine for now.
Also, what file in the framework do I need to change to change the background that shows when we are in the Settings menu etc? Kinda obtrusive the default ones, so wanted to change them.
EDIT: Superuser is denying all apps root access, without any prompt showing up. Tried with both Titanium and Root Explorer.

The icons in the status bar look blurry because i did't have time to resize them.I promise that this will be fixed in future versions.
Maybe the problem with the su apk is caused by the kernel you are using.I never encountered such a problem when i run the tests but i was using my kernel instead.
Please, if you find any other bug, let me know...

If you want, you can install another stock based kernel with OC.The rom will work fine with it.You will never get OC from my kernel.It's a way of thinking.I do not see it as a disadvantage.
If you want you can install another theme and change the settings background.
Please give some feedback on some other important issues like stability, speed, smoother scrolling, better touchscreen responsiveness, etc in comparison with stock firmware...
By the way, the resize of the icons is almost ready and i will probably release a flashable zip with the fix soon enough...

Hybrom is built without a boot image, and it can be installed on an any stock based kernel.
The choice about what kernel you will install is up to you.I prefer kernels without overclocking.
In the end you will have more disadvantages from an overclocked kernel (overheating, instability) than advantages (speed)
I agree;i use boof kernel and everythings work perfect.

I always wondered how will Diezel's Sony Sketch font look on our large screens
p.s. that font is not used in SE logo, it's created later based on look of SE logo
SE logo was made just as a logo, it was drawn.
To be honest it's a bit thin Not sure if we(on android) can change size,formatting of fonts.

-stability, hm ok didn't experience any problem.
-speed, speed of each app is ok, but switching between apps is slow, I would say to slow. for example when i receive sms and pull down status bar, click on it, sometimes it need 2,3 second to switch to sms.
-smooth scrolling is ok (why just ok? well maybe didn't pay much attention to that )
-touchscreen responsiveness, well I noticed one annoying thing, usually on stock, when light turns off ->touchscreen is off, and you can wake your phone with only hard keys. In your rom you can wake phone even touching on (turned off)screen which lasts only 2-3 second after it turns off. That wouldn't be a big problem if not only you wake it up but you actually press something
Also I noticed low number of free ram, I guess it's because of launcher and maybe other stuff you used.

About sonysketch font:I really didn't know which of the two came first.The logo or the font...
Useful information.
About icon resizing:Icons in the SystemUI.apk are resized and a flashable zip containing the new resized SystemUI.apk is uploaded on the first page of this thread under the "USEFUL CWM FLASHABLE ZIPS" section(SystemUI.apk is the one responsible mostly for the icons in your status bar).Framework-res.apk is now under resizing and it's half done.One or two more apks. and everything will be o.k.
About conversations.apk:The icon (for new conversation) is like the one from xperia s because this is the xperia s conversations.apk.It has nothing to do with resizing...
About screen going off:The screen after about 20sec gets dimmer.It doesn't turn off.It turns off after 30 sec.In this 10sec interval you have the chance to fully wake your screen only by touching it.After the 30sec have passed you will have to press the (hard) home key to wake your screen.
About free ram:Please give me some numbers... (I already have improved this feature in the upcoming v16)
P.S. i do not own an mt11i,so testing is very hard (a friend of mine owns an mt11i,but i do not see him often).So, posts like the previous one, are very useful for me.Please give me some more feedback and i may be able to bring neohybrom at the levels of the original hybrom...

About screen, if you didn't changed levels, it should dim like stock, right? I know about that, but I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking that when screen goes off(really off, no dim) you can still wake up phone by touching screen.
About rams, hm, I moved back to stock, so can't check real numbers, but I remember after some time it gets down to ~70-80, it doesn't get freeup, and i didn't even used much apps, regular calls,sms,gtalk, 1-2 times browser.
only after I use one of those widgets from GO(sorry don't know name, as I don't use it usually) to kill apps, it only goes to ~130.
Dear members,
coming freshly to Android and the Xperia S, I've got some questions for which I didn't find an answer, yet, and hope you can somewhat enlighten me.
The phone is LTi26, running 4.0.4, rooted on a reseller contract of Germany's D2/Vodafone.
regarding the Walkman-App, am I just to blind or noobish, or is there really no option to empty the list of currently playing tracks?
at home, I've got EDGE at best and use WiFi, but on the run, I can get 3G/UMTS. Is there a simple toggle/switcher, I can change networks with a single tap, instead of always digging through the menu?
regarding GPS, if it's off and I turn it on, there's always a window popping up, telling me costs may apply, data may be send, etc. Any way to dismiss this window forever?
is it possible to remap the camera button in certain situations? F.e., when the display is off and locked, I'd love to be able to give it a double-tap and have it turn on the camera's flash. Also, if the currently visible and active app isn't the camera app, it would be nice to use this button as a 'back'-button, so I can easily push it with my pinky.
I've read, that AMOLED displays can save power, when they display mostly dark/black colors, IIRC the Xperia S has no AMOLED, but is there a similar possibility? I'm not interested in fancy wallpapers, so it wouldn't hurt me much.
I'm currently happily using the ssLauncher in replacement of Sony's, but in the widget selection, some things don't show up, f.e. the music widget and the 'extras' (on click toggles). Is this a problem of this particular launcher and is there any way to still use them in this launcher?
I've seen a thread with a video, showing how to prick open the phone and be able to exchange the battery, but are there also compatible batteries available which feature a higher capacity?
I've installed the drobear SSHd (no links for noobs), but I'm not able to connect, it always gets a timeout. Not compatibe/config issue(client in question is my Gentoo desktop)?
Other than that, I must say, I'm currently quite pleased with this phone and Android in general. Coming from Maemo, there are still some things I'd like to be able to, but so far it's a good start and so far I'm glad, I didn't opt for the One S or the Droid.
Thanks for your help, regards,
S.D.R

on Stocklauncher or the most Relpacements you can ad a Aplicationsshortcut to the launcher... an there are many Apps/Widgets in the market to bring you with one click to the Datasettings... but there is, as far as i know no way to switch with one click from 3g fo 4g - only with to clicks... also for WFI an/of you can set a Aplication to Home - the Homelauncher got a Widget for - it works with one klick . also in the Market it will gives many apps/widgets for,

I like the Walkman for it's rather simplistic look&feel; currently I'm trying n7player and poweramp, but while they work, they are imho quite complicated.

Mh, that's sad. Anybody tested, how much battery is drained when GPS is on, but not in use by any application?

Yeah, I've got NotificationToggle (or something like that) running, which get's the job done, except for GPS.
I need GPS for some things Tasker, if on but inactive GPS doesn't do to much harm, that'll be an option, though imho not perfect.

Someone did some searching on that? I'd think it would be just a case of setting some value somewhere in /sys/ or something.

Thanks. Does that only account for real black (00/00/00, #000) or is it a general fact that say #aaa saves more battery than #bbb?

is this a matter of hiding/making available the widget to other launchers, or a technical problem in that they need some code only provided in Sony's launcher?

Ok. I've searched a little, but couldn't yet find any with more power, only ones with lower, up to 1400mah.

While I'm at it, I'm missing FM transmit functionality, as in I had it with my old phone(N900). As far as I've read, it seems, the chip really only allows receiving in hardware, so not a fully functional module with the transmitting functionality disabled, correct? If that's the case, does someone have experience with fm transmission, as in what pieces of hardware are needed? If it's rather small, I'd love to get on of the bottom pieces, the one with the xperia writing on it, add a 3.5mm jack and the hardware and add it to the top of the phone, but I guess that's wishful thinking?!
Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.

Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

Thank you very much guys! Your replies clarified a lot!
Did you/could you perhaps check if Good Locks and #hex Installer can be used together or if you have to pick one to customize the system?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. I get 3rd party notification icons on the AOD but I've not seen a counter, I'm afraid.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=3888296&hilit=Vanced
You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.
